Tactile Sensing and Fabric Interface Videos – for a Coffee Break

Vision-based Tactile Sensing

GelSight achieves a high-precision tactile sensing. It can even detect fingerprints.

Exploring the Potential of GelSight

GelForce at Tachi Lab utilizes a transparent elastic material, two layers of blue and red markers, and a camera. When a user touches GelForce, the blue and red markers are distorted. The camera acquires the image and calculate the magnitude and direction of the applied force.
